Blending: it’s not just for wine.

We are the perfect assemblage of two cultures: different characteristics merging together to give place to something new.

When the old world merges with the new.

When youth matures together with experience.

When wildness becomes a bit more delicate.

When Bordeaux meets Los Andes.

There is us. We are Bodegas CARO. The art of blending contrasts.
